Robert and I are always talking about passion — particularly when it comes to passion that entrepreneurs have for their businesses. Over the last few months, we’ve interviewed business entrepreneurs who truly exude passion in everything they do. In fact, they eat, sleep and breath their business. In BusinessCast Podcast #88 – A Business Passion Play, we sat down with Paul Chato — President of Your Web Departmentand member of the hilarious Canadian comedy troup the Frantics — who is passionate about his business because he sees it as a tool to re-connect entrepreneurs with passion about their business! Paul provided some keen and entertaining insights as well as a handful of very unique ways for tapping into and extracting passion about business. This podcast will make you laugh and think! Enjoy!

Keeping pace with rapid fluctuations in product/service development and marketing costs

The inability to consistently anticipate costs and revenues accurately
